HIJACKED SETTINGS

• Hijacked network settings (proxy)

  I am running windows 7 and using Firefox 4.0b7.

  Somehow, I got a hold of the "Backdoor:Win32/Rbot.AW / cycbot.b". I ran "Dr.Web CureIt!", then "MalwareBytes". He was found and removed, but now everytime I open Firefox, the connection parameter default to the use of http proxy 127.0.0.1, with a port of 55030 setting.

  I have to go, remove the proxy and reset whenever I run the application
  Firefox. IE, once the backdoor has been removed, opens fine and
  keeps its settings.

  I also noticed in the file named prefs.js, the following lines are displayed and cannot be removed. When I remove them, they reappear as soon as I run the FF application.

  user_pref ("Network.http.Max - persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
  user_pref ("network.proxy.http", "127.0.0.1");
  user_pref ("network.proxy.http_port", 55030);
  user_pref ("network.proxy.type", 1);

  See if this happens with a new profile - just to test it, don't add anything in the new profile.

• Yahoo seems hijacked my foxfire. Find a settings in private browsing

  I set yahoo as my home page. It allows to be when I started foxfire I'd have options at the top of the screen as file, incognito, etc.. Now, when I'm arrived at foxfire it opens on a yahoo home page but there is no options at the top of the screen and I can not understand how to get to foxfire options.
  What can I do to return to 'old '.

  Could check you if Firefox is stuck in mode full screen? You can switch between normal and full screen using the F11 function key.

  It is also possible for most or all toolbars to fade. To activate the toolbar, right click on an area void of the tab bar (or the new tab "+" button) and choose the ones you want.

• Babylon browser hijacking took my firefox. I deleted all the files I can from my hard drive, I went to about: config, sought to Babylon and reset the settings, but he always comes back. How can I get rid of Babylon?

• only in firefox browser hijacker

  Just upgrade to the latest version of Firefox a few days ago. Found advertisements popping up throughout the tabs, sites, all sites visited. This does not work with all browsers on the same system, only Firefox. I tried several different companies without result removal tools. The last of them tried was malwarebytes that seemed to clean properly. I pulled the top of firefox that prompted reports of malwarebytes. It seems that the hijacking is firefox.exe. Is this possible? I also uninstalled and deleted firefox to my system twice. How can I get rid of this cursed hijack? If it won't be easy, I am prepared to format/reinstall the whole system like going to another browser if necessary permanently.
  I added a picture of one of the STE stuck, but others get through, deporting more tabs and multiple windows of Firefox.

  ^: a weird update channel displayed your data: release-cck-mozilla50

  Did you install Firefox from the Mozilla Server?

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  If you keep the problems, and then create a new profile.

• Get the error 78754 despite the recent change of password and the correct settings

  My address book has been hijacked. Cleared virus, reloaded Tbird. Changed password. Gmail account now accessible online. But Tbird does not accept the new password, which is saved correctly. I have other addresses that are accessible and download in Tbird. All the settings are correct for all accounts.
  Why Tbird rejects always download 78754 error message

• My Yahoo homepage hijacking

  I searched all night, passing through the old posts, and I can't seem to find how to stop Yahoo as my default browser. I changed the settings in the subject: config, I hit the perf.js. I removed the other search engines from the pool of search engine in the browser's settings section. I am at a loss, and it's driving me crazy. I'm on version 40, on Windows 10.

  Let's separate some different potential problems:

  • You want to change your default address bar search engine, search bar, built-in home bar bar page tab and click on search. This is defined in the Options:
    
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > search, top
    
    Firefox will allow you to change this setting and it works when you're looking for?
  • You want to change your home page, the page that appears if you click the home button or start a new window using Ctrl + n. This is defined in the Options:
    
    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general
    
    Firefox ignores your choice here?
  • Another page loads at startup, other than your designated home page. This can be caused by a bad add-on or a hijacked desktop shortcut. (To check the shortcut, do a right click, then properties. On the shortcut tab, check the target, it should have all the addresses at the end, just "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")

  To investigate a bad add-on, I suggest:

  (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?

  (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  Success?

  (4), check your connection here:

  "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

  Click the mini network, then on the button "settings". The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should piggyback on your LAN-Windows/IE setting, or 'No proxy', you can try to see if that helps.

• Adware has hijacked Firefox can't find it in extension, or programs. It is Dejvu IE 6 all over again

  I did a cleaning with Adware remover, malwarebytes, Spybot search and destroy.
  Nothing I can find.
  I was infected by offer4u and malware of similar product that kept showing offers and other products when I was on a commercial Web site.

  EVEN this does not show anywhere, it was not in the programs. He moved somehow in hidden firefox.
  Even my firefox start page has been hijacked and the search for something I do not remember.

  All this has allowed out. But the other day I still have the Offer4u popup. I disabled it for always the have not seen since.

  Now, whenever I visit a site, it is redirected to this url.
  http://API.pitlap.info/v1/users/wMfSaZPIqrU=/tips.JSON?where_created=SG & api_key = da4b9237bacccdf19c0760cab7aec4a8359010b0 & secret = eb3e8ac05132bbaeb79f6e8eb53b67e753d79da3 & pr = 1 & bring_info = 0 & method = post & url = http://www.tienda.com/?affid=cj
  This is the exact url to tienda.com
  As you can see, when I visit a site, he's trying to reload this page with a particular reference id.

  I can't find it anywhere and nothing can remove it.
  His is a huge firefox security hole, I'm sure. So it is not detected as an adware.

  It is difficult to go yet as the reference ID and the URLS are false and he ends up redirecting to the home page.

  Yes, I know that I can reinstall firefox to a scratch, but it will be for all the extension back pain once again.

  How did become FIrefox like IE. It's dejavu. It seems the right time to spend in chrome.

  There seems to be no support or any person recognizing this question in the forums. It seems that no one is disturbed

  Have you checked your list of extensions Firefox Safe mode? This disables the ability of the extensions to hide in the page modules.

  Something custom in your connection settings? You can check here:

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

  The default value is "Use system proxy settings" (adopted IE settings); you could also try 'no proxy '.

  If you do not have an extension or a proxy, the cause, you may drain your Firefox program folder and reinstall Firefox. Note: do not uninstall Firefox or delete your settings, it's about the program folder.

  Clean reinstall it

  The process is: rename the program folder, and then reinstall Firefox. In this process, the installer of Firefox should recognize and automatically connect with your existing profiles.

  (Still, it may be a good idea to make a backup. This article offers suggestions: back up and restore the information contained in the profiles Firefox.)

  You can download the installer for Firefox 27.0.1 here:

  https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/ (scroll down to your language)

  Then, after the release of Firefox, rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  something like

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  Then run the installation program.

  Any improvement?

  Note that some plugins and extensions installed in the program folder. You can check out them later if you discover their lack, but to minimize contamination, please not bulk copy these files.

  Regarding the opening of a new topic, you can always start a new question by using the "Ask a Question" at the top of the page.

  It's demand to have the strongest anti-malware built into Firefox? Currently, the phishing and malware protection is limited to what Google is willing to offer and it offers not the same list for users of Firefox to Chrome users. Further, Mozilla plans to add more services to the browser. The question is if something is better free or that he would need to be a paid service, in this case, use commercial antivirus software could be better than to have a Firefox solution only.

• Impossible to change automatic update settings

  For some reason, (possibly malicious, but my computer is now clean) I can't change the settings of update automatic windows.  I can open the page in the Control Panel, but the options are gray translucent and cannot be clicked.  There is a note at the top that "some settings are managed by your system administrator.  I am the administrator.  There is no reason that I would not be able to change these settings.  I currently put to tell me if there are updates so I decide to update, so it isn't a huge problem for not being able to change, but I would like to auto update of important updates.
  Thank you for your help.

  Hi I have in fact already MBAM and Spybot installed for general prevention, and both scans lift you own. I also have a separate account a couple of weeks to limit damage in case of infection in the future... but also in the hope, it would solve the problem. Even when I go into control panel for this account, it still prevents me from making changes. I actually posted a hijack this log on spywarehammer.com some time ago, but when I don't have an e-mail saying that he had been a response to my son, I guess no one responded. It only occurred to me to go back and check after I posted this, it turns out, I didn't just have this updated profile to me send me an email (I guess that's the default) I thought since all scans, I ran (both above and a few others on demand scanners) were clean, that the problem was in the operating system possibly left by a previous infection, I had cleaned and that I needed to talk to someone at microsoft who know how to reset it, or fix the problem, that's why the post here. I posted this response in the thread about spywarehammer, but an administrator he suggests to do some other tests anyway, which I'm currently in. I know that the forum, is virtually useful for malware, and I guess that this forum is no longer for specialized knowledge of windows and its parameters. For now, I want to finish to a good clean out of my system with the help of someone. But, given that I don't know if this problem with automatic updates is actually related to malicious software that is currently on my system, I'm not sure that the cleaning, he would give me a result, then, I know not how. It would be better to close this thread (I can post later if I still have a problem after that my system is completely clean) or to leave it open in case this happens? Or if there are some things I can try now? I apologize, he seems to be running right into things right now, and I didn't have two threads simultaneously in two different places. : S thanks for all your help.

  It sounds as if your user profile is damaged.

  To confirm, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a file of any type and save it in "My Documents" of the account, which seems to have lost everything.
  2. Search for the document.
  3. When it is found, right click and choose Properties.
  4. Click the general tab and view the information next to the 'location '.  It will be C:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents Settings\nom
  5. Make a note of the user name
  6. Now search for a document that you know existed.  Get location and to compare the value of username to this file that you just created.

  Did you find the old file?  Was the location your former username user name and the user name for the new file a variant of that?

  Also, please answer the next 2 questions, in the event where the article below does not help:

  1. You use a profile (user name) that you created or that you use the built-in account named "Administrator"?
  2. Also, what version of Windows XP you are using, including service pack?

  There are several Microsoft KB articles that should help you.  First, see this one:

• Cannot access PC settings, Apps installs not opening and closing, updates

  So... i started with a connection internet dropout. No matter how many times I've selected automatically connects it kept being changed. Used scans etc, found nothing. The problem then grew a slower connection and browser. I use IE and Opera. Opera is my default. A few days later I can't open all the apps without them immediately close it before they were properly open. I can't access PC to change the settings. I tried various solutions of MS and other Malware software. Both have had some effect, but not resolved the issue. I can now open apps, limited reach 95% of the installation of an update of windows instead of 0%, have the automatic internet connection... still have slow service, part 3 and MS preinstalled apps cannot be opened and no access to notebook settings.

  Somewhere along the way 20 + new apps appeared, all administrative tools.
